A chip van near Goldsworth Park
Party fish and chip van in Goldsworth Park, cooked to order
It feels like a treat, but stays relaxed: fish and chips from the van, eaten in the garden. Typical bookings include family reunions and birthday parties, with haddock and chips, curry sauce and gravy.
In a place like Goldsworth Park, a party at home is usually the easiest option. Let us know how the van reaches the house, and we’ll bring everything else. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. At midsummer, it is light in Goldsworth Park until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- You share your date, numbers and address.

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Let your neighbours know
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Count children separately
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
Plan where the queue stands if the van is on the drive.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.
Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates

Goldsworth Park parties: what to know
Goldsworth Park is about 1 mile west of Woking, in Surrey. For parties in Goldsworth Park, we can park on a drive, a car park, a yard or firm, dry grass. Goldsworth Park is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey where we bring the van.
Thinking of using Milford Green and Coxhill Green? Parks normally need the owner’s permission, frequently the council’s, before a catering van can park or trade. Guests arriving by train should know that Woking station, about 1 mile east, is the nearest station.
Anywhere in GU21 and GU22, we can fry fresh for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include Elm Road, Well Lane and Bury Lane; a party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. With the A324 close by, Goldsworth Park is simple for us to get to.

Questions from Goldsworth Park
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Andrew?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Goldsworth Park close to London?
About 24 miles from central London.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
How far ahead should we book a party?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Get in touch with your date.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Surrey included. See all areas.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
About the food
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
